津巴布韦留学生龚正在2019年优秀国际学生表彰大会上的发言
各位老师、同学们：
早上好！我一开始还说过“我没有什么好说的”，但是谭老师非要我来发个言。他还说我简单的介绍一下如何申请到我们学校的研究生，这也是可以的。这个经验么，网上都能够找得到。然后，我决定以自己的生活经验为例扩展话题。我还给自己抽了一个话题《然后呢？》。
毕业后，我们可能会面临多个选择，今天我将重点介绍我所有过的两个选择。
第一个选择：找工作。
在我获得学士学位的6个月前，我开始浏览专业领域的公司网站。我在求职面试中观看了很多视频，并申请了许多不同的工作。在大多数公司网站上，它们都有工作中心或“机会”部分。你可以在此处填写你的详细信息，只要有资格、够条件，他们就会与你联系。
这些公司比我们更需要我们：2018年3月，我接到了华为公司的电话。他们说他们对我感兴趣，问我是否想要这份工作。从那时起，我陆续接到了十多个电话。在这些打来的电话中，有些是技术人员打电话给我的，其他的大多数是打来确认或取消面试的。我于2018年6月进行了面对面的面试，他们（华为公司）雇用了我。
在这里我想谈一下公司的人力资源部门寻找的素质：
1.学习能力：我被问到的第一个问题是“你最想用哪种语言来会谈？”。我选了用中文讲。这不仅能让我证明自己有能力加入他们的公司（主要由中国人组成），而且我还能够很快学习新事物。
2.领导素质：他们问了我是否曾经担任过学生干部职务。作为领导者，我是否曾经解决过团队成员之间的争执问题。
3.创造力：他们还问我是否曾经创新过任何东西。他们还询问了我毕业论文的内容。
4.谁认识你？：他们还问了我是否可以留下我的推荐人的联系方式。
最终，我被录用了，并在华为公司工作了一年，担任网络工程师。在工作期间我发现了我专业领域的知识不够多，并且在网络方面没有良好的基础。因此，我决定回到学校继续读硕士学位。
第二种选择：读硕士学位。这需要做到以下几点：
1.必须能够在财务上和时间上对自己进行投资：
当你决定学习时，这是一条经验法则。财务部分几乎可以忽略不计。在线购买书籍，二手书，中英文版都有的。电子版的不超过10块钱。请花更多的时间在学习上。
2.你想做什么？：制定清晰的计划，这能够使你尽快适应你的学习领域、了解你的研究方向！
3.沟通的重要性：在入学之前和开学之后，都要经常与导师沟通。别害羞，这也是他们的工作！！！
4.研究：
我们的中国同学必须在入学前学考试。考试的一部分包含有关所选研究方向的材料。我们不需要参加考试，这是个弊大于利。所以，为了补齐知识上的不足。我们应该做到：
-在线多看材料。
-多Google-Google一下下！
-YouTube上有很多不同的语言的视频，Udemy，Coursera，MIT的OCW
-跟不同的人：老师们、同学们、室友们，多交流。
5.时间管理：硕士课程很短，还有很多事情要做，自己可以做个工作或者学习记录。
以上这些是我所想到的提示。大家可能还有来自其他人或者其他来源的更多信息，你可以尝试一下，看看他们会对你们自己有什么帮助。
我这个演讲还有英文和拼音版本。需要的同学可以向我要。谢谢大家！
English Version：
Good morning. Initially, I had said I don't have anything to say, but Mr. Tan asked me to make a speech anyway. He also said that I could probably briefly explain how to apply for a graduate student at our school. This stuff is greatly available online. Speaking of life post-graduation, and taking my own life experience as an example, I decided to expand the topic and then change the direction a little bit. I also picked the topic What then?”.
After graduation, we may have multiple choices. I will focus on two that I did.
First: Looking for a job: Six months before I got my bachelor's degree, I started browsing the websites of companies in my field. I watched a lot of videos on job interviews and applied for many different jobs. On most company websites, they have job centers or opportunities sections. You can fill in your details there and they will contact you if you are eligible.
These companies need us more than we need them: In March 2018, I received a call from HUAWEI. They said they were interested in me and asked if I wanted the job they were offering. Since then, I received more than a dozen calls. On some occasions, they had technical people call me, and on other occasions, they just called to confirm or cancel appointments. I had a face-to-face interview in June 2018 and they hired me.
Qualities sought by the human resources department:
1. Learning ability: The first question I was asked was Which language do you prefer to speak? I chose to speak in Chinese. This not only proved my ability to join their company (predominantly Chinese) but also that I was capable of learning new things quickly (Learning a language in 5 years and speaking it comfortably-That’s worth something).
2. Leadership: They asked me if I ever held a leadership role. As a leader, did I ever resolved disputes between team members?
3. Creativity: They also asked me if I had ever created anything on my own. They also asked me about the content of my graduation thesis.
4. Who knows you? : They asked me if I could leave the contact information of my referrals.
Eventually, I was hired and worked there for a year as a network engineer. I found that my knowledge in the field is not good enough and that I did not have a good foundation in networking. Therefore, I decided to return to school to continue my master's degree.
The second option is to study for a master's degree:
1. Invest in yourself financially and in time:
When you decide to study, this is a rule of thumb. The financial part is almost negligible. Buy books online, second-hand books, Chinese and English versions. The electronic versions do not exceed 10 Yuan. Spend more time studying.
2. What do you want to do? : Adapt to your field of study. Know your research direction!
3. Communication: Always communicate with your mentor before and after you enroll. This is their job!!! Don't be shy.
4. Research:
Our Chinese classmates must take the pre-school exam. Part of the exam contains material about the chosen research direction. We don't need to take the exam, which is more harm than good. and so:
-You should read more materials online.
-Google more!
-There are many videos in different languages on YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, OCW from MIT
-Communicate with different people, teachers, classmates, roommates,
5. Time management: The master's program is short and there is much to do. Make a job or learning to record.
These are some tips from the top of my head. There are more tips from other sources and other people. You can try them and see how they help.
I have English and Pinyin versions of this speech here. Those who might them can ask me. Thank you！
